We serve our customers, our colleagues and our communities by integrating sustainability into our work every day. We believe it’s not just the right thing to do, but it’s also good business.

This new world needs—and our customers increasingly demand—products that have sustainability built into them from the start. Products with the inherent agility to take advantage of today’s application economy, where customers are more likely to experience a brand through a software app than a person. Developing and delivering superior user experiences that engage customers has become table stakes. And agile is a key principle in this process that says there is no end result, only an evolving, ever-present, ever-expanding development life cycle.

Agile software also drives efficiencies for our customers by enabling them to quickly assess how IT assets are performing within traditional data centers and cloud environments. This, in turn, enables them to easily optimize resource utilization and minimize unnecessary expenditures.

These kinds of software solutions have contributed to a reduction in our carbon footprint by approximately 36 percent since 2006, achieving our GHG reduction target four years ahead of our 2020 goal. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this reduction equates to 33,974 fewer metric tons of carbon emissions—equal to taking 7,176 passenger cars off the road.

Global issues—like security, the global footprint of customers and talent management—are providing new opportunities and challenges for CA. And we’re closely watching key trends that will affect our footprint over the next few years, including the proliferation of connected devices, access and identity management, global carbon reduction commitments, and water shortages in key global areas.

At the same time, we’re working globally with other organizations, governments and nongovernmental organizations to address the gap in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, skills. This includes the Tech Girls Rock initiative we created in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and our support of the European Commission’s Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs. Our goal remains to help transform the lives of young people and inspire the next generation of innovators and tech leaders.

We understand that remaining at the forefront of a world driven by software will happen only if we put people at the center. With the support of our customers, partners, shareholders and employees, CA Technologies is committed to building a brighter future for all of us.
